The large intestine does which of the following?

82% Answer Correctly

breaks down proteins

breaks down fats

breaks down starches

processes the physical waste produced by digestion


Solution

The large intestine (colon) follows the small intestine and processes the physical waste produced by digestion, absorbing water and minerials that remain back into the body. Solid waste is then stored in the rectum while liquid waste is stored in the bladder.


2

212°F is how many °C?

78% Answer Correctly

100

-100

\(135 {5 \over 9}\)

0


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)

\(C° = 100\)


3

The Sun is a __________-type main-sequence star.

64% Answer Correctly

E

D

S

G


Solution

Composed of 73% hydrogen and 25% helium, the hot plasma that makes up the Sun reaches 9,900°F (5,505°C) at the surface. It formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and makes up 99.86% of the mass in the solar system.

Which of the following temperatures is least like the others?

43% Answer Correctly

0K

absolute zero

-273°C

32°F


Solution

Absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature in the universe. In the Kelvin scale, absolute zero is 0K and in the Celsius scale it is -273°C.


5

Which of these is not a function of bone in the human skeletal system?

52% Answer Correctly

protect bodily organs

store minerals

produce blood cells

store vitamins


Solution

Hard bones provide primary support for the endoskeleton while more flexible cartilage is found at the end of all bones, at the joints, and in the nose and ears. In addition to providing support and protecting bodily organs, bones also produce blood cells and store minerals like calcium.
